Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 425 It's not easy to start

Hearing this, Sun Zhen sighed: "Old Chen, you really can't blame me for this matter!"

"Although Liu Changqing's independent brigade belongs to our 22nd Group Army, this unit is directly managed by the Sichuan Kang appeasement office. Sometimes I want to take command and have to negotiate with Liu Changqing."

"This time the Independent Brigade went to Anqing City. At that time, Adjutant Yu just said it casually. I thought I would only send a small amount of troops. Who knew that the entire brigade went there and achieved such a big result."

"If you hadn't mentioned the great victory outside Anqing City, I wouldn't have known about it!"

After saying that, Sun Zhen looked at the big guy: "I didn't know either, we were all kept in the dark!"

Everyone saw Sun Zhen say this, and Sun Zhen looked shocked before. Most people already believed Sun Zhen's statement!
"Everyone!" Sun Zhen said again: "You all know that after our Sichuan Army troops left Sichuan, they fought fiercely one by one!"

Everyone in the conference room also nodded. During the civil war, the Sichuan Army was like a weak chicken and made a lot of jokes in front of the people of the country. However, after coming out of Sichuan, it won several great battles and was just like eating. It's like taking medicine, one by one!
"Take the Battle of Niangziguan as an example. Commander Deng and I were still in the rear, and the troops in front were already fighting against the Japs. The results of the battle were known to the whole country, and we only learned about it from the newspapers. "

"Speaking of which, the several great victories in front of Niangziguan were not directed by me at all. They were all done by my subordinates."

"Adjutant Yu told me at that time that once out of Sichuan, the troops should be given the right to operate independently and seize the opportunity to beat the little devil to death."

"I am also a soldier who trusts me, and I have delegated all my power. Anyway, I just say, fight the little devil. You can go ahead and fight without worry. I don't care about the battle process, only the result."

"As for the little devil's weapons, equipment, food and ammunition, you can get as much as you want. You only need to hand over one-third, and the rest is yours. If you get more, I am happy. If you get less, I am not happy. , then you will be scolded, and even dismissed from your post and investigated."

"It was in such an atmosphere that our Sichuan Army was able to defeat the Japanese army many times and achieve great victories!!"

When a group of generals saw what Sun Zhen said, some nodded and some frowned. They were a little worried about the Sichuan Army letting their subordinates do it, and they were afraid that the troops would report false results.

However, Li Delin, who attended the meeting, had some thoughts on what Sun Zhen said. He felt that his Guangxi army could imitate the Sichuan army's practices.

First of all, the Gui army is an iron plate and is not easy to be penetrated. The Gui army only listens to the orders of Li Delin and Bai Zhuge. It is still a bit difficult for the generals of the other troops to command the Gui army at a higher level.

In addition, the Guangxi army entered the Anhui Province area, and Li Delin also took advantage of the fact that he was the commander of the fifth war zone to take the position of provincial chairman of Anhui Province!
Anhui Province was regarded by Li and Bai as the second hometown of the Guangxi Army. To run Anhui Province, you must build the entire Anhui Province into a base and become an advantage for the Guangxi Army to penetrate into the Central Plains. sword! !

Li Delin felt that after he dismissed the meeting, he had to talk to the Sichuan Army about this matter and ask the Sichuan Army for advice!
When Chen Cheng saw Sun Zhen talking about the Sichuan Army's method, he thought about it and realized that it would be a bit difficult to promote it in his own army, so he stopped going into details.

Because the Central Army and the Sichuan Army are different, the situation here is very complicated!

Xue Laohu grinned and said: "Old Sun, you Sichuan Army really opened my eyes. This time they destroyed the Japanese airport. Last time they attacked Shanghai at night, they destroyed the Japanese airport again. It seems that your Sichuan Army is fighting against Japanese aircraft." On!"

"That's not the case!" Sun Zhen laughed loudly: "Even in the Battle of Xuzhou, our Sichuan Army also fought against Japanese planes. During the Battle of Taierzhuang, the number of Japanese aircraft was less, and it was our Sichuan Army that killed the Japanese planes again!"

Li Delin's eyes widened: "In the Battle of Taierzhuang, your Sichuan army shot down a Japanese plane? Why didn't you report this to me? Is this a military achievement?"

"I was quite puzzled at the time. How come there were so few Japanese planes in the Taierzhuang battle? I thought it was our Guangxi Air Force, plus the anti-aircraft artillery battalion of the 200th Division, that scared the Japanese planes. .”

It was also the first time that everyone saw Sun Zhen mentioning the Sichuan army's killing of the Japanese aircraft in the Battle of Taierzhuang. At this moment, Anqing City was fine for the time being, and everyone's nervousness suddenly disappeared, and they began to focus on Sun Zhen.

"Old grandson!"

"You kid, don't lie. The Sichuan army fought a bloody battle in Tengxian County and killed Japanese aircraft in the Battle of Taierzhuang. How many aircraft did they shoot down?"

"Just... just... let us open our eyes!"

"Old Sun, you won't kill all the Japanese aircraft fleet in Lu Province. This is why when the Japanese army attacked Taierzhuang, the aircraft were not powerful, allowing us to win the battle and annihilate tens of thousands of little Japs!"

"Looking at Lao Sun's happy face, I think he is too. This would probably cost thousands of planes, otherwise Lao Sun wouldn't have let us in."

A group of generals started making noises, no one thought it was a big deal! !
When Sun Zhen saw these generals joking like this, he knew that they were amusing themselves.

"Every one of you...now that you heard that the Japanese army was temporarily suppressed by us, you are in a good mood and you dare to joke!"

"Is it possible that our Sichuan Army destroyed a thousand Japanese aircraft in Shandong Province? At the beginning of the war, the total number of aircraft in the country was only more than 3000?"

"If our Sichuan army can kill thousands of planes, the Japanese army will go crazy! I'm afraid they will have to mobilize all the troops from across the country to defeat our Sichuan province first."

Chen Cheng stood up at this time: "Okay... okay..."

"You are watching the fun one by one. You don't think it's a big deal. You are all joking. Let Sun Zhen just say it briefly."

Immediately, Sun Zhen used the fake artillery group of the Sichuan Army in Shandong Province to attract Japanese aircraft for bombing. Then, he mobilized the air defense firepower of the entire army and killed more than 30 Japanese aircraft. At the same time, the army's air defense firepower also lost more than half. The group army The air defense force was directly destroyed.

Li Delin sighed: "This Japanese aircraft is too great a threat to us. The anti-aircraft firepower can achieve such great results in the air strike. It is also a good strategic design of the Sichuan Army."

"Normally, if our anti-aircraft firepower wants to kill a Japanese aircraft, we have to lose at least three to five anti-aircraft machine guns."

In response to Li De's words, the current generals also nodded. Japanese aircraft were the greatest threat to the Republic of China army in the entire battle. Without air superiority, the Republic of China army had to be careful of Japanese aircraft no matter what they did.

Anti-aircraft shooting was a confusion not only for the Republic of China army, but also for the entire countries participating in World War II. Throughout the history of World War II, no single anti-aircraft shooting had achieved good results!
The Sichuan Army was able to kill so many Japanese planes in Shandong Province because the Japs' planes underestimated the enemy. In addition, the Sichuan Army's strategy was very good and it ambushed the Japanese planes.

The news that the Sichuan army had killed the Japanese airport outside Anqing City was also passed on to the commander of the Central China Front, Shunroku Hata.

When Shunroku Hata's adjutant reported the news, Shunroku Hata kicked down his desk in anger.

The airport outside Anqing City was the bridgehead set up by the Central China Front Army against the Wuhan attack. Now the Sichuan Army destroyed the airport, and the fuel depot was also blown up. The loss of aviation fuel was enough to make the Central China Front Army's aircraft less capable. Half a month's flight time.

The last time the Sichuan army attacked Shanghai City at night, they killed the Japanese army's airport in Shanghai City. The airport in Shanghai City has not yet resumed operation. Even if the little devils work overtime to repair the airport, it will take a month.

"Bagaya Road!"

Shunroku Hata was so angry that he shouted: "Adjutant, order Inaba Shiro to capture the airport for me. Even if we abandon Anqing City, we must first defend the airport."

"If I can capture the army that attacked the airport at night, let me destroy them with the Sixth Division and the Botian detachment. They must pay the price for provoking the imperial army."

After the Japanese army captured the airport in Anqing City, Shunroku Hata transferred all the planes that attacked Wuhan in the first phase to the airport. Now all these planes were blown up, and even the airport was in flames. How could Shunroku Hata not be angry?Once the superiors investigated, this was a command error. The commander of the First Army of the Heipin-Tianjin Front and several division commanders were transferred, which forced Shunroku Hata to carefully deal with any changes on the front line.

Otherwise, he won't be able to keep the black gauze hat on his head. He has just served as the commander of the Central China Front Army for less than half a year.

"Intelligence officer!" Shunroku Hata shouted, and Nobita Hirahara immediately stepped forward: "Your Excellency, Commander."

"Where are the leading troops of Neji Okamura's No. 11 Army?"

Pingyuan Nobita came to the map: "Your Excellency, Commander, the vanguard of the No. 11 Army, the San Yuan Da Shan Independent Mixed Brigade, is now camping here."

"Hey!" Shunroku Hata said coldly: "Immediately give an order to Okamura Neiji and ask him to dispatch the San Yuandashan brigade to support the airport outside Anqing City, find me the Republic of China army, and carry out a powerful military strike."

"Hi!" Pingyuan Nobita nodded heavily, and then he turned and left.

In Anqing City, after Shiro Inaba and Juichi Namada received the order from the commander, they both looked at each other.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what should we do about this matter?" Namada Shigeichi asked.

Shiro Inaba pondered for a moment, and now the commander asked him to defend the airport. This order really troubled Shiro Inaba.

"Botian-kun, let's do this. There are less than 3000 defenders in the city. I will leave the task of attacking Anqing City to your detachment. I hope you won't let me down!"

"Hi!" Botian Shigeichi nodded heavily, "Your Excellency, division commander, please rest assured, I will definitely capture Anqing City!"

"Yoshi!" Inaba Shiro nodded, "I'm waiting for your good news. When the 11th team of the Third Fleet on the river leaves, I will contact the navy and ask them to support you."

Anqing City!
The Japanese Navy's Third Fleet once again increased the strength of the 11th Squadron!
This time, the commander of the little devil's team was Major General Kondo Injiro. He had two mine brigades, each with six speedboats and nine gunboats.

Together with some other naval guns and ships, the Little Devils have sixty or seventy ships on the river.

There are also 500 members of the Soryu aircraft carrier's special operations team and two Marine Corps brigades, each with 500 members.

The 11th Japanese Marine Corps has 500 Japanese soldiers who can go ashore to fight. This is the strength of a brigade of the Japanese Army.

Although the Namada detachment was assigned two brigades to support the airport, Namada Juichi still had an infantry regiment and a brigade, plus other arms, with a strength of 1.

When besieging Anqing City, the Japanese army and navy still had several times more troops than the Chu Ming Regiment. What's more, there were still sixty or seventy Japanese ships on the river, and the navy's artillery strike capability was much stronger than that of the army.

After Inaba Shiro made the arrangements, he took the men of the Sixth Division and evacuated Anqing City!
The mobilization of men and horses from a division also attracted the attention of the Sichuan army. Chu Ming once again received a report from the leading soldiers in the city. His first thought was that reinforcements might be coming.

Several battalion commanders were also a little confused now: "Captain! The little devil has mobilized much more troops this time than last time. The number of people leaving this time seems to be a division?"

"If the Japanese army wanted to set up an ambush ring outside the city, there would be no need to mobilize so many troops!"

"What kind of medicine is sold in this devil's gourd?!"

Chu Ming smiled slightly: "I guess it must be our reinforcements coming!"

"Reinforcement?!"

"Captain, since the reinforcements are here, why don't you contact us?"

"Ah... this... our regiment's radio station has a slight glitch. Sometimes it can send messages and sometimes it can receive messages."

"I think the reinforcements must have contacted us using the radio. However, the radio is out of order, which prevents the reinforcements from notifying us."

With that said, Chu Ming walked to the map and circled the airport outside Anqing City with a pencil: "Everyone, if I were the commander of the reinforcements!"

"Faced with Anqing City being surrounded on three sides, the best way to solve the siege of Anqing City is to attack this airport."

"This time the Japanese army mobilized a division to leave. I guess the airport must have been destroyed by our brother troops."

"This forces the Japanese to mobilize their troops back to defend the airport!"

After the battalion commanders listened to Chu Ming's analysis, everyone began to applaud!
"Great!"

"Reinforcements are finally here, we are saved!"

"After fighting for so long, we finally have hope of survival!"

Everyone was also very excited. After all, it is better to live than to die, and no one wants to die!

At this time, the Japanese Sixth Division and the Botian Detachment, the first two brigades to rush to the airport, had now entered the ambush circle of the Sichuan Army.

More than 2000 Japs were driving along the road, heading towards the airport. The Japanese army was marching very fast and did not conduct fire reconnaissance.

The Independent Brigade's regiment and Zhang Yungang's regiment have now entered combat positions.

Lin Zhizhong saw the Japanese army's motorcycles leading the charge. There were more than 50 motorcycles in front of them. Motorcycles ran faster than cars on mountain roads, so the kid's motorcycles kept some distance from the cars.

The Japanese soldiers on motorcycles are almost a squadron!
"Captain!"

"How do we fight next?"

"It's hard for us to make a move as the Japanese's motorcycles keep some distance from the cars."

The battalion commander next to Lin Zhizhong asked.

"This is easy to handle!" Lin Zhizhong waved his hand, "Don't worry, kid."
